POT POLICY

I am glad to see that a recent National Post poll indicated that 
"two-thirds of Canadians believe that possession of marijuana should not be 
a criminal offence." And I am immensely thankful to Justice Jo-Ann Prowse 
for revealing the idiocy of the marijuana prohibition (Prison Time For 
Smoking Pot Violates Charter: B.C. Judge, June 5). If we can see reasonable 
marijuana laws work in Canada, it just might be easier to change the drug 
war in the United States.
